lzma_stream_encoder() and lzma_stream_encoder_mt() always assumed this. Before this patch, failing lzma_filters_copy() could result in free(invalid_pointer) or invalid memory reads in stream_encoder.c or stream_encoder_mt.c. To trigger this, allocating memory for a filter options structure has to fail. These are tiny allocations so in practice they very rarely fail. Certain badness in the filter chain array could also make lzma_filters_copy() fail but both stream_encoder.c and stream_encoder_mt.c validate the filter chain before trying to copy it, so the crash cannot occur this way.
